We have received a significant number of new members in the last 4-5 hours. Whilst we don’t want to jump to conclusions, our ‘Claret and You’ survey findings and our more recent survey to members, highlighted ticketing as a big issue to a lot of Burnley fans. We can see that purchasing Tottenham tickets, has for many, been a very arduous task!

This is what the ISA is for. The club have said they’d like to engage with us recently and we’ve now started that process formally, so hopeful good news follows.

But in the meantime, why not consider joining us today? The more people on board, the more impact we believe we can have.

Been a valuable day to promote the ISA.

Firstly we had the issues with the Spurs tickets and now the cricket field stand news that has come without any consultation.

This ISA is needed in my view, we need a strong ISA. The club has to start consulting with the people who matter, the supporters.

Just joined, looking forward to seeing what comes from it!

Well done, the more members it has, the stronger it will be.

Just signed up. Sick to the back teeth of the way the club handles communication with the fans. Sometimes they show us nothing but contempt like with the news today. Hopefully the bigger the membership, the more pressure there will be to engage with the fans. I won't hold my breath but we can only try.

I signed up today.

Strength in numbers.

Thanks to both of you ksrclaret & taio - there has been a surge in the membership today following first the ticketing issues and then this announcement on the cricket field stand.

All started with Alan Pace removing our beloved Players of the Past and Present Portraits from around Turf Moor,all around the outside walls from Harry Potts Way,He will just not listen will he,His Way or No Way,No thought of the Past Respect for Players and Fans At All,just look to the Future,That is All He is bothered about,Oh and making Money!UTC.

I’m pretty sure the ISA is still hopeful of finding a solution for the player boards. Fingers crossed!!

Done

Just joined up, been tired of certain goings on at the club for a couple of years now, hopefully a strong, cohesive supporter group will be able to challenge some of the baffling decisions the club makes.

And another sign up here too. Hopefully making good progress to the 1000 mark?

Again, thanks to all who have joined today - it's been a productive day for the ISA.

I signed up a few weeks ago. It sounds interesting, so I'm intrigued to see where it goes.

The announcement today should have been seen as a positive. It's further investment in the Turf and that's not a bad thing - many clubs would love to see this kind of investment. How they've gone about it could have been better, though. That said, if pushed I'm sure the club would point out that the FAB represents our fanbase, and they have been consulted.

Whether the FAB needs a stronger voice at the table I don't know, but I do know that the fans in the Cricket Field Stand should have had their chance to voice their concerns, even if it was just to gauge how many fans were bothered about being moved. There will be fans who don't really care. However, there will be fans who are anxious and want reassurance that their new seat is right for them (an aisle seat, or one close to the exit for example). It wouldn't have taken much to send a message to season ticket holders asking them to voice their concerns by a certain date. I'd be amazed if they'd received a message from 10% of the fans to be honest. It all looks and feels a bit rushed.

Following today’s news around ticketing, but then later, around the changes that WILL take place at Turf Moor, the steering group have got together this evening to quickly get something out to our members. At this stage, we feel it’s important that we gather the views of our membership as we will endeavour to represent THEM.

In the meantime, if you have any views, please do share them.

Also, please do consider joining us if you haven’t already! The more people that join us, the more impactful we hope we can be.

Thank you!

Has anyone else been having the same issue?

Where is the info held on the number of members sign ups? Just out of interest.

I will be signing up. Really not happy about the CFS seat move. No consultation, far worse viewing position.

Me the Mrs and kids all have well over 2k points now, but seeing that Spurs ticket thread fiasco was the last straw for me. We have spent years and thousands on getting our points up and now £150 puts you above us as more valued supporters? Even if it's just to see one of the big clubs in their stadium? Yeah cheers.

Has anyone got an email address for this group? I became a member a while ago and trying to email over the views of the recent CFS changes but it’s saying the email address is undeliverable.

Caused I have to say by the incompetent bloke tasked with setting up the emails - he'd be better employed just writing match reports on UTC.

As the ISA have now said - it's ENQUIRIES - just that I couldn't spell the word.

Nice one CT, I didn’t even think to check if there was any spelling errors

Ranted a reply.

I signed up this morning. Strength in numbers, also time we heard from the new CEO with his rationale behind alienating the supporters before a PL ball is kicked in anger...

just joined, I meant to join when it was first setup but got distracted with work stuff. We need a collective voice over the issues we all have and I don't think the FAB is doing what is needed (and I did apply to be a member but got rejected)

Credible suggestion that the taking of lower allocations for games is putting pressure on more supporters to pay for a membership
I’d be interested too in the tracking of these tickets, as there are tickets available on ticket sites already

Really hate these setups where paying more gives you the advantage, so absolutely typically American.

And it's not because I can't afford it.

Just joined. Being a union man I’m aware that you have strength in numbers. We all need to get on this.

Thank you. Welcome!

Questioning the multi club structure or plans would be my priority once up and running .

This was an issue that certainly has come up in feedback from our mail to members a fortnight ago.

I'll be joining.

One issue which needs raising if it hasn't already is the fact that away tickets for Tottenham have been seen on 3rd party websites for £80 if not more.

This was spotted on Monday before they went on sale to season ticket holders with 2000pts.

Therefore can only presume that some premium member has brought a ticket for £30 and immediately advertised it.

Disgusting in my view.

Saw a post about it on X.

Surely the club have been made aware and if so they will be able to identify the seats on sale and who ordered them and then they can have their membership rescinded so that they can't do this again.

Before doing that, it might be worth the time seeing if those tickets actually exist. Plenty of evidence of non existent tickets being advertised on those sites.

Correct and I've noticed that they never give the seat numbers of the tickets that they're supposedly selling!
